Show MARY JOSEPHINE NAOMI JEANETTE because of its high butterfat content. I joined and became a director of the Farm¬er's Dairy Association. This Organization later became known as the Weber Central Dairy Association. 'My wife, Ida, was a lovely companion and excellent mother to our 10 child¬ren. A retiring person, she served in the Sunday School, Primary and MIA. She did much for the comfort of her family!' Ruth completes the history: The Mountain Green farm was sold in 1947 and my parents moved to Logan where father was set apart as Patriarch of the Logan Cache Stake, a position he held un¬til his death in 1958. He also became active in Temple work. My mother, Ida Cook Parrish, died in Logan in January of 1961. Both are bur¬ied in Logan. THE FAMILY OF EZRA AND MABEL PARRISH 'It was here in Mountain Green that, early in life, I learned to work.' These were the words of Ezra B. Parrish, third son of Joel and Emma Ford Parrish. Ezra was born, 20 September 1871, in Centerville. He attended Davis County Schools and fur¬thered his education at Utah State College in Logan and at the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. Ezra served an LDS Mission to Great Britian and married Mabel Elvira Fernelius, March 1901. Mabel was born, January 1882, in Danielson, Meeker, Minnesota, a daughter of Peter and Johanna Fernelius. Ezra served as Bishop of the Peterson-Mountain Green Ward from 1906 to 1909. The family moved to Centerville and from there to Trout Creek, Juab County. Here Ezra raised alfalfa, grain seed and sheep. 184 EZERA PARRISH MABEL PARRISH |
